i have one from rugged ridge. it's an analog model. i've had it for a couple years now, but it's still in the box. i don't have the need for one. i can feel when it's about to flop, now that i've been there a couple times. haha.

but if you're gonna use one, i'd get the analog model. i'd think it's easier to read for that second before it's too late.

my old nissan and toyota both had them. Didnt ever do much good for me at the time. I lived in nebraska where everthing was pretty flat. The only good/fun part was when me and the ex first started dating and I would take here wheeling she would freak out when it went into the red.

i bought one for sheets n giggles, not as a realistic representation of when your going over

ive had it buried in the red zone (to the stop) on plenty of occasions both side-side and up-down

its fun when you have passengers.

I know this is a old thread but I was wondering who has them and where they mount them.

I found this one which would make for a nice custom install. http://store.camerontech.io/products/offroad-cpu

All of these are so last century, LOL
Torque Pro has one, and there's also a app called RollMeOver that you can download an image of an XJ to use in the roll and pitch meters. All on your smartphone. Done, LOL

I've always thought of an Inclinometer as the Offroad version of a Hula Girl on the dash. Pointless to be there but entertaining when it dances around. That's about it.

Agreed. I have never used the one on my Torque app, I feel that stuff like that is more for the passengers. When I'm driving, the less I have to look at the better, and as stated before, if pucker factor isn't enough to tell you when you're about to go over, you probably shouldn't be driving in it. LOL

Please go drive one more mile so the odometer will rollover.
